On April 28th, during a conference for all student support professionals Board-wide, the Lakehead District School Board Trustee Character Award was presented to 65 employees who worked during the pandemic to encourage and support the continued success of students. Their resilience, dedication, and will to support student learning during difficult times is admirable and appreciated. To all the student support professionals who worked during the pandemic, assisted students with the transition to virtual learning, as well as those who provided in-person support, we thank you. Your commitment to students is invaluable to our school communities. Thanks to you, students received the support they needed during a very difficult time for everyone. We are lucky to have this excellent team of colleagues and friends within our Board.
